Ecclesiastes 6:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ A man might have a hundred children. He might live a long time. But suppose he can’t enjoy his wealth. And suppose he isn’t buried in the proper way. Then it doesn’t matter how long he lives. I’m telling you that a baby that is born dead is better off than that man is. ⁴ That kind of birth doesn’t have any meaning. The baby dies in darkness and leaves this world. And in darkness it is forgotten. ⁵ It didn’t even see the sun. It didn’t know anything at all. But it has more rest than that man does.
